Twenty-six securities will be added to the list of designated securities for short selling in Hong Kong.
As well as adding securities, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing removed 11 existing designated securities with effect from 14 February 2014.
Securities added included Hon Kwok Land, China Windpower, Pax Global, and Lung Cheong. Securities that were struck off the list included GD Land, Sea Holdings, China Haidan and Allied Group.
In July 2012, HKEx tightened up regulations by tripling the minimum market value stocks must have in order to short from HK$1 billion to HK$3 billion ($386 million)
